Motorcyclist Injured After Deer Collision

A Lexington man was seriously shaken but survived after hitting a deer on his motorcycle Friday evening in Lexington Township. The man was riding south on South Lakeshore Road near Wiltsie Road when a deer suddenly crossed in front of him. He crashed, was thrown about 15 feet into a nearby ditch, and his motorcycle slid 150 feet before stopping. Emergency crews from Croswell treated him on the scene, then took him to McLaren Port Huron Hospital for further care. Neither speed nor alcohol played a role.
